public liability and plant insurance
Excels1or replied to wood cutter's topic in Business Management
Who did you get quotes from? We've had a time of it trying to change insurers this year. We've been with Hiscox/tower for 3 years. NFU told us unless we have an existing plan with them, they're not taking on new tree companies due to the risk. Arborisk didn't pick up their phones despite a number of emails. Tried a few brokers with no luck, ended up thinking better the devil you know, and stayed with current. We've never made a claim. -
Recommendations for arb body installations around Hertfordshire
Excels1or replied to CampbellsArb's topic in Arb-Trucks
As above comments, it'll be far cheaper to get an aluminium frame built and bolted to the tipper bed, then faced with ply/thin sheet steel -
Boys don't grow up, their toys just get more expensive 😂

Good idea, a list of pros and cons 👍

For garden clearances being able to scrape would be a bonus. Removing small stumps without having to stump grind as well as having the ability to dig. I'm also wondering if a digger would give us more maneuverability when stacking lengths and rounds. I've used the Sherpa 500 quite a bit and its brilliant, just seen a lot of folk in the arb industry going towards the mini digs. Seems a mini dig does everything a Sherpa would do but also has the versatility for other jobs?

Cheers Mark, mostly domestic, but we also do quite a bit of garden and woodland clearances, so its starting to get rough on our bodies on longer jobs

Been looking at buying a skid for a while now (sherpa due to closest supplier) but the more I think about it the more a mini digger with a log grab would maybe suite us better....more versatility etc. anyone got any advice? Tried both? Thanks in advance

Emerald Green Arborvitaes - Brownish Yellowing
Excels1or replied to groverson's topic in Tree health care
Looks like the brown needles are mostly on the inside? Its normal for conifers/evergreens to shed their needles in autumn/fall -
Yes its recognised. Once you've completed the level 2 and acquired a certain number of practical tickets (8 from memory) you can apply through the RFS for your certified Arborist certification. Its also worth looking at the ISA, its more popular in America but its gained some traction and is recognised over here. For the ISA you'll need to prove 3 years work experience or 4 years (i think) studying; degree, HND etc

Was speaking to a client last week about purchasing land for a yard. We're currently renting yard space, about an acre, great spot but we're basically paying off someone else's mortgage. He advised he had bought his current business propertys by purchasing them through his pension plan, so he doesn't get pumped by tax when he eventually cashes in. Anyone else gone down this route?

I deeply regret making this post 😂

You have a good day as well buddy 👍

How so?

Fair point, well made.

Anyone noticed since lockdown there's a high ratio of knobheads out there? We've walked off a good few jobs due to clients and their neighbours being completely unreasonable, not to mention being spoken to like s*it when we're working in the street.

The spikes that come as standard don't bite well when cross cutting/sectioning in my opinion

Following. Biggest let down on the 500i is the dogs they come with

Yeah, he obviously knows his stuff but he's a bit too much. I really like August Hunicke, minus the bible bashing
